I have several other articles in draft about WWDC announcements, especially the M2 architecture and what the M2 generally brings to this year’s Mac lineup, but before jumping into any of those topics, I wanted to quickly share some findings as I was planning about what M2 machine to get. In fact, to be more accurate, what M2 Air to get. I am still not quite sure whether I’ll trade my 2018 Intel 15” for it, but that’s an entirely different story you’re welcome to read after.

Yes, I have decided to get the M2 Air. More on why that and not the 13” Pro M2, in another story. I actually — over enthusiastically — decided that before even seeing the first frame of the WWDC video showing the darned thing, but look, I am after all an Apple fan, and even my practical pragmatism gets sometimes a break. Even though it kicked back in just an hour later, I know I still want the M2 Air. In making that conscious decision, though, I found myself facing a dilemma: should I fully spec my M2 Air out?
